The very first thought that had popped into Fai's mind during his and Kurogane's first kiss was that Kurogane was so very innocent.
Their first kiss was nothing epic, just simple mouth-to-mouth—it could've been a sixth grader's first kiss for God's sakes. But Kurogane was already shivering beneath Fai's fingertips.
And after they'd pulled away, and Fai had grinned up at the ninja, Kurogane had actually blushed.
Blushed.
As in, turned a bright, flaming crimson that rivaled his eyes.
Fai had to dig his nails into his palms to keep himself from laughing. Kurogane, the big, bad ninja that had been sent away from his country for his well-known massacres, blushed after a simple kiss.
The mage was going to have a field day with this.
The next time they'd kissed, Kurogane didn't shiver at all, and Fai could taste that the ninja was triumphant in his own lack of reaction. But when Fai's tongue entered the equation, Kurogane's eyes shot open, and he bit down on it, before swearing heavily and disappearing out the door.
Even if that cost Fai a few weeks of not being able to babble nonsense and irritating nothings, along with four packs of ice and liquid food, it was all worth seeing that look on the ninja's face.
The following time, it was Kurogane who kissed Fai, tongue and all. But it was Fai, who grinned into the kiss and slammed Kurogane against a closet wall, locked the closet door and unzipped both of their pants. And it was Kurogane who screamed some…choice words in a voice loud enough to bring Sakura, Syaoran and Mokona running.
Once the confusion had been cleared up, and a self-righteous Syaoran who suspected they were fighting sent Fai and Kurogane to their bedrooms——Fai smiled at the ninja, deciding to have some fun with their confinement.
"Did you know, Kuro-pii," he said vaguely. "You might be even more innocent than Sakura?"
The ninja stared at him. "Yeah. I'm sure the princess was banished from her country because she massacred entire villages."
"Alright, well, you're at least more innocent than I am."
"I don't know what the hell you're running from, so I wouldn't know, would I?"
Fai's smile broadened, as he flitted in front of the ninja, blocking his path to the closet door. "There are different types of innocent, Kuro-rinta."
Kurogane merely raised an eyebrow.
The mage reached up and breathed lightly onto the ninja's collarbone, causing the latter to swallow loudly, and back away. Fai wasn't having that. He advanced on the ninja and once again unzipped both of their pants, once again, making Kurogane's eyes widen
"See?" Fai grinned, "Innocent."
